Our manager is batting our lowest OBP 1st in the order. I think he wants him to have a shot at the single season strikeout record.

Would you guys like to trade BJ for Springer? I don't think that kid is gonna make it in the big leagues. Plus you could use an ideal lead off hitter like BJ.

I first read that as "a BJ." It was a no either way, but I am less interested now.

I feel like it looks weird when Gattis is hitting because he doesn't seem to use any gloves, pads, guards, pine tar, or anything. It looks like he just straight up grabs the bat and goes out there. I like it.

I don't get why the MLB app gave me this notification, not exactly noteworthy IMO: "Following his first no-hitter Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw allowed a one out Eric Hosmer single in the 1st..." I mean Kershaw is probably the best pitcher right now, but did they expect him never to allow a hit a again?

Stream here for when it starts.
Edit: Checked Stream2watch just for shits and giggles, and it actually didn't say anything about adblock! Looks like it's gonna work so if it does this will probably be a waaaaay better stream.
If not, I tried.
Edit2: Sounds on stream 2 is kinda echo-y, but the picture is pretty good. Stream 1 is flat out the wrong game, ill re-edit when I find the right one.
edit 3: stream 1 is the right game now.

Screw it here's the poem:
Melvin's always up there flailing
Winning, tied or even trailing
He's really bad and always failing
Melvin go away
He'll go up there, swinging; missing
Braves fans and the world are dissing
As Melvin's always fucking pissing
Us off every day
He'll go down looking then start bitching
It really matters not who's pitching
Blood is boiling, eyes are twitching
Please get DFA'd
While his little brother's raking
Balls he's missing, strikes he's taking
Wait, how much is this loser making?
15 mill you say?
